Langkawi

Langkawi is probably far from the top of people's lists tropical island destinations. I suspect that many people who know Bali, Phuket or Samui have never heard of this small Malaysian island. Yet Langkawi has some things to offer that these other destinations do not. The view of Langkawi from atop Mount Mat Chinchang Langkawi was still a rather sleepy island backwater up until the mid 1980's, when the island was made a duty-free port at the expense of Penang to the south.
